Hi,
It sounds like that the next time I log in and get to my home directory I 
should type
ls -la
And see which files start with a period.

Then, I could copy them to other file names and look at them to see what they 
contain.

I think I may have one called .profile along with the one called .bashrc.

Thanks.

Jim

you could also set it up in .bashrc or similar files when you log in.
